Heavy Bag Espresso

10.5 GBP

HEAVY BAG ESPRESSO Our very first blend, named after the early days of our roastery, when we used to carry every 70kg sack of coffee by hand. It’s the perfect daily driver espresso for every drink, every occasion, and everyone. Here at the roastery, this is our go-to coffee for a nice creamy espresso, or a deliciously balanced flat white. You know you’ve brewed it well when its distinctively sweet marzipan notes come out singing. Due its bold flavours and sparkly acidity, it’s really easy to get great results, and works great with a Moka pot or cafetière as well.

They are also certified by Fair Trade and Organic. The coffee harvest takes place between November and March. Only the mature cherries are picked to ensure the best possible cup quality. The harvest is carried out and transported on the same day to the cooperative wet mill. The centralization of the wet mill reduces the impact on the environment, through a more efficient use of water and better management of coffee by-products (pulp and honey waters). APROCASSI, PERU COUNTRY: Peru LOCATION: San Ignacio, Cajamarca PRODUCER: Aprocassi PROCESS: Washed CULTIVAR: Catimor ALTITUDE: 1200 – 1900 masl HARVEST: April – September Aprocassi’s history goes back to 1997 when San Ignacio families were in conflict with a Canadian mining multinational whose activity would have a massive impact on the ecosystem. This opposition was backed by the Catholic church and farmers alike, who envisioned a more sustainable future for themselves. With this in mind, reverend Humberto Tapia Días created an association to provide an alternative for the area’s economy based on organic agriculture. Aprocassi was born in March 2000 and became a cooperative later in 2010. The cooperative develops social and environmental projects. GUATEMALA COUNTRY: Guatemala LOCATION: Various PRODUCER: Union Vegetal, local growers PROCESS: Washed CULTIVAR: Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra & Typica ALTITUDE: 1300 masl HARVEST: October – February Guatemalan coffee is recognized worldwide for its quality. Guatemala was the first coffee producing country in the world to establish a denomination of origin system to characterise its eight producing regions. It is the 10th largest coffee exporter in the world. Guatemala SHB EP is sourced from various farms located more than 4,500 feet (1,372 meters) above sea level. Coffee cultivated at these altitudes matures slowly and grows to be harder and denser than beans grown at lower elevations, creating the strictly hard bean (SHB) with inherent consistency and rich taste attributes.
